Aws Bootstrap Skill

aws-bootstrap-skill

A Claude Code plugin that provides a skill for provisioning and managing AWS EC2 GPU instances via the aws-bootstrap CLI. It enables LLM coding agents to autonomously launch, monitor, and tear down GPU instances for ML/CUDA development workflows.

Installation

From GitHub

Register this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install:

# Add the marketplace (one-time setup)
/plugin marketplace add promptromp/aws-bootstrap-g4dn

# Install the plugin
/plugin install aws-bootstrap-skill@promptromp-aws-bootstrap-g4dn

Local install (from repo checkout)

claude --plugin-dir ./aws-bootstrap-skill

Prerequisites

The aws-bootstrap CLI must be installed separately:

pip install aws-bootstrap-g4dn
# or
uv pip install aws-bootstrap-g4dn

You also need:

• AWS credentials configured (AWS_PROFILE env var or --profile flag)
• An SSH key pair (default: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519)

Usage

Once the plugin is loaded, Claude Code will automatically use the aws-bootstrap skill when you ask about GPU instances. Examples:

• "Launch a GPU instance for me"
• "What GPU instances are running?"
• "Terminate all my GPU instances"
• "Show me available g5 instance types"
• "Clean up stale SSH entries and orphan EBS volumes"

The skill teaches Claude Code to use --output json for machine-readable output, handle spot pricing fallbacks, manage EBS data volumes, and clean up resources properly.

What's Included

• SKILL.md -- Main skill with quick reference, common workflows, and error handling guidance
• references/commands.md -- Full command reference with all options, defaults, and JSON output schemas
